Abstract:
The Turkish American Community Center (TACC) in Lanham, MD, is a reinforced concrete structure comprising a mosque, Turkish bath, parking structure, and additional assembly spaces. A three -dimensional model of the structure was prepared to allow for detailed coordination of the concrete work on the project as well as resolution of potential constructibility issues. The model was provided to the general contractor and the formwork vendors. The five forming systems that were ultimately required to construct the project are briefly described.
